Kevin Nisbet: Hibs striker's move to Millwall off despite accepted bid
- Published
Kevin Nisbet has spent a year and a half at Easter Road
Kevin Nisbet's proposed move to Millwall from Hibernian is off despite the Scottish club accepting a bid for the Scotland forward on Friday morning.
Nisbet, 25, was to undergo a medical after an offer of around £2m satisfied Hibs' valuation.
The striker, with 10 international caps and one goal, has scored seven times in seven Hibs matches this season.
Meanwhile defender Ryan Porteous, who was out of contract this summer, has finalised his move to Watford.
A statement issued to the Press Association from Nisbet's representatives, Quanic Sports, read: "Kevin has taken time to consider this opportunity but remains unsure about making the move at this time. He's happy to focus on Hibs for the time being."
Millwall, eighth in England's Championship, had previously offered just over £1m for Nisbet.
Aberdeen visit Easter Road in Saturday's Scottish Premiership match (15:00 GMT).
"Neither transfer is done but they are not here in the building," said Hibs head coach Lee Johnson of Nisbet and Porteous.
"I couldn't give you an answer at 12:30 on a Friday if they will be available for selection (against Aberdeen). Sometimes it's difficult to stand in the guys' ways."
The terms of Nisbet's proposed move to Millwall could have been life changing for the player, who recently returned from surgery on a knee injury.
He joined the Scottish Premiership club from Dunfermline Athletic for a fee of £250,000 in July 2020, having scored 23 goals in 32 appearances for the Fife club.
The Glaswegian has since played 88 times for Hibs, scoring 34 times, leading to interest from the club sitting eighth in England's second tier.
Millwall are looking to strengthen their front line after selling Isaac Olaofe to Stockport County and terminating the contract of his fellow striker Benik Afobe this month.
